Non-Government Schools


The Australian Capital Territory's non-government school sector consists of schools from a range of educational and/or religious philosophies. The variety of schools in the sector reflects the diversity of the community in the ACT and caters for the preferences of parents for a particular style of education for their children.

There are 47 non-government schools comprising 18 independent schools and 29 Catholic systemic schools registered to operate in the ACT. A list of all non-government schools in the ACT may be found in the Register of Non-government Schools.

Information about non-government schools in the ACT may also be obtained from the Catholic Education Archdiocese Canberra and Goulburn External Link or the Association of Independent Schools of the ACT External Link.
